PHOTOS: Typhoon Matmo Slams Taiwan, China

Typhoon Matmo was the first typhoon to make landfall in Taiwan this year, coming ashore Tuesday night on the island's east coast. The storm has since moved inland over eastern China.

Taiwan authorities ordered all schools and businesses closed on its east coast Tuesday night, according to Bloomberg.com. The National Fire Agency says 8,000 military personnel were readied for any needed typhoon-related rescue effort.
